'Every age has its own kind of war.' - Clausewitz, On War
Raids, invasions and sieges; trench battles, naval encounters and aerial dogfights; civil wars, guerrilla wars, trade wars and nuclear wars; wars of succession, religion and independence - wars have been fought in all kinds of ways and for all kinds of reasons.

Featuring over 610 full colour maps created specifically for this volume and 100 photographs in two plate sections, The Encyclopedia of Warfare is written in a style accessible to both the student and the general enthusiast, and reflects the latest thinking among military historians.
